What being "overqualified" really means
If you've been working for a while, chances are you've found yourself in an interview with someone who tells you you're "overqualified." Interviews are quite a nerve-wracking situation and at first it sounds like a compliment. But if you're like...

Career Education Strategy: Run Your Job Search Like a Business!
Career Education Strategy: Your Job Search Is A Business Venture
If you learn only one career education strategy, it should be

insight the possibility of a job offer in as little as 14 days.
It's the career education strategy of a lifetime!
I recently read an article that quoted Larry Thompson, a film
producer. He says there is a simple four-step plan for success.
He uses it with all the Hollywood stars whose careers he
manages.
While Thompson's alluding to success in the film-making
business, it occurred to me that the same principles apply to
job search success . . . especially if you understand it as a
business venture.
1. Identify and focus on your capabilities and assets. Too often
we get hung up on what we can't do. Do what you dream of
doing--not what others want you to do. Build a list of your
talents and match them with opportunities. Your talent never
limits you. Only a
shortsighted vision can do that.
2. Failure-is-not-an-option commitment. Write down event or
feelings in your life that can deepen your commitment to take
advantage of your capabilities and assets.
3. Build your personal dream team. Every successful person has a
team of supporters, mentors, professional, role models,
motivators, and reality checkers. Ask them for advice. Test
them. If they don't support and encourage you, drop them.
4. Make your own luck. How? Work hard, prepare for
opportunities, be in the right place at the right time. Make a
list of your top accomplishments. Acknowledge the effort and
commitment it took to achieve them. Then go after your job
opportunities, knowing that with passion and persistence you can
do anything.
This formula for Hollywood success struck me because it's the
same formula you need for job search success. It's one career
education strategy that will for the rest of your life.
